Gov. O. A. Hadley, President of
 the Northern New Mexico Cattle
 Growers Association and the Di- rector for New Mexico in the h.
 ternational Range Association, has
 made a report to the directors of
 the Range Association on the beef
 question, suggesting measures for
 relief. Gov. Hadley's plan is for
 the cattle growers to organize a
 company and establish dressed beef plants at suitable points to com-
 bine all the economic features of the business, and save for the pro- ducers the sum of ten dollars per head 7; which he claims is now be- ing made by Chicago dressed beef syndicate, over and above Iegiti- mate profits. The capital to estab- fish these plants is to be obtained by cattlemen taking stock in pro- portion to their annual shipments of steers at the rate of ten dollars per head, payable in five annual payments of $2 year. This would in the aggregate realize "a capital large enough to accomplish the ob- jects in view; the money invested would be represented by shares which would certainly pay good and the saving of the shareholders in marketing their cat tie in this way would pay for their and leave them more for their cattle by eight dollars per head than they are now realizing. The American cattle trust is not re- ceiving popular support because of features in it's organ ization, chief among which is the fact that it's directors made up of the original promoters hold their positions ad infnitum and fill all vacancies without giving certificate holders any voice in the manage ment. This is so contrary to Amer Ican ideas that 1t is not strange the great combine is not receiving gen. eral support.
 Gov. Hadley's plan is feasible and we trust it viii meet With the support it deserxes.1St, Louis Ru- 'al World.

The Las Vegas Optic says about two o'clock Sunday afternoon the little town of Rociada was thrown into an unwontcd state of excite ment by an altercation between two Americans and two Mexicans, in which one of the latter was killed and the other dangerously wound ed. The two Americans, N. Locher and Henry Smith, being in the em- ploy of Richard Dunn, came down from the Gascon mills, and in q few moments after arriving in the village became engaged i'd quar- rel with Benito Gallegos and Ra- mon Trujillo. After few words had passed Smith drew his gun and shot twice or more times, killing .Gallegos and Wounding Trujillo. The cause of the quarrel could not be learned. Dr. Skipworth was at once sent for to attend the wound ed. Locher is under arrest, but Smith, the man who is said to have done the shooting, is still at large.

The Drovers' Journal, which is a
 natural bear in cattle values, is
 forced to the conclusion that the
 bottom has at length been reached
 and that decidedly better prices for
 good cattle must prevail before
 long. It says:
 An old cattleman says the cattle
 crop has been fooled away" this year at low prices, simply because feeders and shippers have been de- moralized. He thinks that if it had not been for the panicky feel ing among feeders and shippers that the big supplies could have been worked off at much smaller sacrifice than has been necessary. It must be remembered, however, that money has been scarce for a year or two and that nearly all feed CTS counted with reasonable expec- tation on prices being higher in the spring than they were last winter. The big supplies, however, and the depressed foreign markets all tend ed to make our beef cattle market a dropping one. Prices continued to go down and down until feeders got tired of hoping against hope, then the drouth which shortened both water and grass was the last straw which broke the camel's back. The receipts were the heaviest on record, and prices last week were the lowest they have been in many years when the receipts began to drop off, however, the market re- covered at once and responded so quickly to the frightened load that dealers have all taken a great deal of fresh hope, and nearly all agree hat not only the worst has been passed, but we shall have decidedly | better prices for good cattle before ong. During the past six days prices for good cattle have ad- 50c per cwt., which is a pretty good gain considering all hings. The drouth, however, con- inues, and as grass and water are Tery short, vast numbers of cattle hat should be held and fed some ime will be crowded to market.

 The National Stockman says 1t quite fashionable with many who consider themselves authority in cattle matters to say that the num- Der in the country has little to do with the current depression, for the reason that the proportion of num- bers to the population has at times been greater than now. This is one of those cases in which those who make their calculations on any such ground as this are preparing for disappointment. What does it matter if somebody may be able to figure out tLat there are less cattle to the hundred of population than in other specified times, if the mar kets are more heavily supplied than ever before, and if our consign- ments for the old world show heavy reduction? What boots 1t that this may and will insure re- action after while-as affecting present prospects-if Chicago keeps up the average for the remainder of the year, which has so far been sus- tained, of 5000 head more per week than in 1886? Prices are not stim- ulated by the probability that these gluts are depicting the supplies for some other tim. As long as there are more cattle in market. than are wanted prices will remain low, in spite of all the philosophizing that can be done. And if there were one-half more cattle in the country than at present, and some cause should intervene to reduce the sup plies in market very materially, prices would nevertheless go up. Current prices are made by the number on sale; and future pros poets are gauged by the number in the country and the feeling of the people respecting increased or de- creased breeding.

The fencing of the Montoya grant will be completed within q week at which time all cattle be- longing to the neighboring ranch men will be turned out to grass lit erally, and will no longer enjoy the splendid herbage of the grant. Fence riders will patrol each side of the grant and when the ungodly are caught monkeying with the. wires, punishment will be neted out to them.-Stock Grower.

these deposits have remained prac-
 tically undisturbed until recent
 years, is that the Spaniards or Mex
 jeans never worked at any distance
 from the city garrisons and conse-
 quent safety to life and property.
 Ins1rrectionists, banditti and civil
 strifes kept the Spaniards under
 the mouths of artillery and on the
 commanding silver and gold laden
 hills up to the independence ot
 Mexico. Since then and up till
 1874, or thirteen years ago, period
 ical revolutions compelled all min
 ing that was done to be inside of
 garrisoned places or within can
 non shot of them. Not until re-
 gently was there a change com
 menced from that custom of three centuries. What Is the result? Well,
 on the lower foothills which skirt the valley edges and are closely connected with the higher points have been, and are being discovered daily, almost as rich ores on the extensions of the high up openings at depth of 60 to 150 feet, as in the former at 300 to 700 feet. Time, sun, water and frost during the ages gone wore off these lower hills, leaving the veins even with their surfaces or nearly so. Thus nature in her actions upon Natures crea- tions has developed the network of lodes as they are found on the lower place. But short distance south of this city there is lode of quartz $50 feet in width which is of such | a resisting power to erosion that the mountain which confines 1t IS worn off even sixty to seventy feet l below the adamantine rocks which carry, on those heights above ground, twenty to twenty-five ozs. of silver to the ton. This lode has never been worked, Why? Because the quartz of the lode cannot be ground by the softer stones used in ,he patio for crushing it. Yet with he civilized stamp, crushing and pulverizing machinery ot mining countries nov in use quite univer sally, except in Mexico, the same quartz that on this Cerro has defed erosion powers in greater degree han the massive rock-ribbed form ation of the mountain itself, is most readily and economically re- luced into easily manageable pow ler.-Two Republics.

The St. Johns herald., 1887-08-18

It is verbally admitted by all cat tlemen that the Chicago beef ring have got the cattle markets of the country in the palms of their hands and that they can and do move prices up or down at will, and that their expressions and extortions are getting worse all the time. But the same cattlemen practically rely upon the ring to purchase their fat stock, and refuse to assist in build ing up an opposition market, or do anything else calculated to incur the displeasure of the ring. A com mlttee appointed to investigate what was the matter with the market wound up with two of the members going over to the enemy. An effort to establish a packery at Houston fell still-born, even after the citizens of Houston had put up 5000 and donated the grounds. A cat tleman, commenting on this fact, remarked that If the cattlemen will not help themselves they cannot expect to do much of a business.- Dallas News.

 The Stock Grower says the cattle trade is in the dark as regards in- formation concerning the beef pro- duct of the country. It is easy to ascertain that cattle are marketed in excess of previous years, where as the sugposition that the country is full of cattle is likely to be a great error. The immense ship ments to market will keep prices down, but the longer the run is kept up the greater will be the reaction.

 A problem which the Board of Equalization was called upon to solve, on Tuesday last, was this: A cattle baron was asked to state the number of his herd, and did 1t in this wise:
 On hand ill 1886. .65 SoId .9O .Dled. ......... ..................3O 50 branued ................ Z On hand this year....... ...... 40
 The man making the statement was duly sober and apparently men, tally balanced, which puzzled the Board not a little to know 1t was possible for him to still have forty selling 90, and losing 30 by death, out of an original number of 65, and only an increase of 2. The Board guessed that an increase of 25 on the 40 returned was about the fair thing, and so deereed-Sil- yer Belt.

A Russian Grand Duke.

A correspondent of The Dublin Free
mans Journal describes one of the chief
guests at Queen Victoria's jubilee in un-
f1attering terms. "There u.s. he says,
emo need to scratch the Russian to find
the Tartar in the Grand Duke Serge
the Tartar is there in unadorned and un-
vanished ferocity. His beard is cropped
short. his mustache is clipped in a
straight line across his mouth, and each
separate hair has as much of an indie
pendent existence as the quilts of por-
cupine. He lowered and glared upon
the crowd, while his wife in a carriage
behind him was, next to the Princess Of
Wales, the prettiest royalty in the show,
though, perhaps, the slightest suggestion
of shrewishness in her expression. The
grand duke was attired in an exceedingly
picturesque hussar uniform. The shake
was species of turban with band Of
sable, and the vest was mass Of gold
braid, while the coat slung over the
shoulder was of cleaning white. New
